which side of body is liver - #18539
I am just super confused about something, and I really need some help. For a while now, I've been feeling this weird heaviness on my right side, like, almost under my rib cage, and it’s been bothering me a lot. I thought I pulled a muscle or something doing yoga, but then my friend mentioned that might be where the liver is, and now I’m trying to figure out which side of body is liver because I’m just not sure. I tried looking it up, but everything I find just makes me more confused! And the heaviness kinda feels like it comes and goes, sometimes it’s a dull ache, and other times it’s like a sharp pang, so I can’t even pin point what’s going on. My doc did some blood work, but honestly, I’m not even sure what they checked for. Could this heaviness be liver-related?? Like, which side of body is liver if it's acting up? I mean, I really want to get to the bottom of this because I’ve been feeling off and it’s making me worry. Anyone else dealt with similar stuff? Any insights on which side of body is liver or any other what to look for would be super helpful!
